Check out the North Point iBand use iGOG in concert: http://youtu.be/F9XNfWNooz4 iGOG sounds better than other drum machines because it uses Drumagog technology. (Drumagog is our award winning drum replacer, used by recording engineers worldwide for over 10 years). iGOG features up to 384 multisampled drum hits per pad. It combines dynamic, random and positional samples to form a drum sound so realistic, you'd swear it was the real thing. - Genuine Touch-Sensitive Pads iGOG introduces the impossible: touch sensitive pads that respond to how hard you hit them! Using WaveMachine Labs own patent pending VelAUcity technology, iGOG accurately responds to your touch. The harder you strike the pads, the louder the drum hit. Finally, a drum machine that plays like a real kit. - Mic Triggering Mode iGOG also lets you play other objects, like a table, and turns those hits into real drum sounds while you play! This gives a whole new dimension to "air drumming". - Drumagog Technology iGOG contains a powerful drum sample engine which captures every nuance of a drum hit. Because a snare drum sounds different the harder it's played, iGOG's samples are packed with Dynamic Multi-samples to ensure a faithful reproduction. iGOG's Random Multi-samples guarantee that no sample is ever played twice in a row, making rolls and flams sound realistic. Hi-hats take advantage of iGOG's Positional Multi-samples, which provide a smooth transition between closed and open styles. Simply slide your finger across the rectangular pad. iGOG also automatically switches between left and right hand samples, making drum rolls sound amazing. - Features • 8 velocity sensitive drum pads using patent pending VelAUcity technology • Comes with 6 free drum kits. More available through the built-in store • Load your own kits using standard wav, aif or Drumagog .gog files • Hi-hat and Ride pads change articulation as you slide across the pads • Built-in sequencer with standard MIDI file support • MIDI export: save your sequences to your computer • Sequencer features quantize, metronome, time signature, count-in, tempo and loop • Backing track mode lets you play and record sequences in perfect sync to an mp3 file • Mic trigger mode lets you play drums by tapping on objects, such as a table • Built-in file transfer mode allows you to copy files between iGOG and your computer • Mixdown feature lets you create an audio mix of your sequence Reviews and Press • Engadget: http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/igog-velaucity-brings-velocity-sensitive-drums-to-your-humble-ip/ • Create Digital Music: http://createdigitalmusic.com/2009/10/going-mobile-velocity-sensitive-touch-pads-on-an-iphone-igog-says-yes/ NOTES: iPhone 2G and iPod Touch users: A headset is required to take advantage of VelAUcity and mic triggering modes.

But the description says it works with this iPhone. It doesn’t. No sound and only one drum kit. It used to come with several kits. Please update it. ### 4/5 — need dynamic tracking control! *2019-03-17, version 1.33* It was sad to know that "dynamic tracking" function of drumagog wasnt part of Igog. Igog has this feature called "velAUcity TRACKING" but it only works with touching the pads in the screen. When i plug a trigger through a Rocksmith cable, with an usb to lightining adaptor and in the MIC TRIGGER MODE, works perfectly, but is very dynamic! It would be amazing if i could control how much dynamic I want it to be, just like in drumagog's "dynamic tracking" I was wondering if that implement in the app could be a possibility for a future update. App integration would be something cool too. I have here in my Iphone 5c this app called BIAS FX, and it has a rack compressor that would be perfect to go before going to igog app. But in this case i will probably have to contact "positive grid" (the company that made BIAS FX) to let me integrate with Igog, just like it lets me do with the app "Fiddlicator" for example. I dont know for sure how this feature works, maybe there's something that can be done to let BIAS FX integrate with igog. I'm very hopefull to suggest these things, it would be more than perfect if it happens. ### 5/5 — Mic triggermode *2019-02-15, version 1.33* To all the drummers that use mictrigger mode that is because is using your own voice if you speak loud then the velocity becomes hitting the drum harder if you don’t speak anything it will be softer ### 5/5 — IGOG is awesome! *2018-08-08, version 1.33* I’ve been using IGOG for years now and I love it! The samples sound great! I use it for rehearsals with a rock-n-roll brass band I’m in. I plug my iPhone into the sound system complete with subs and monitors, and it sounds excellent! It sure beats dragging my entire drum kit down there every time. I also use it at an open mic I help host, and jam in real-time with musicians that come up to play. They love it, although they’re always looking around for where the drums are setup. I am still waiting for an update for the newer, larger screen iPhones, (it’s been over a year since the last update) but other than that, this app ROCKS!!! ### 1/5 — Don't waste your time or money *2017-01-31, version 1.33* Not responsive. Not useful . Can't get rid of click on playback. Can't fix recorded tracks. Just a waste of space on my iPhone. Tried getting my money back and they said no. So, will share my thoughts so you won't get tricked like I did. ### 3/5 — THE best iOS drum sounds, but the dev has abandoned support for it it seems *2015-06-29, version 1.32* I hope they continue to support this because it really is unrivaled. No delay what so ever. Hard to tell the difference between this and real drums when played correctly. Very cool stuff ad worth every cent. They need to fix a few issues though such as not being able to restore purchased kits when reinstalling iGOG. If they could do this it would be a FIVE STAR APP. ### 5/5 — Great *2015-06-02, version 1.32* Great idea! The Velocity feature provides much more flexible and allows way more creativity than loops or programmable drum machines. It is a pain to export because you have to use iTunes. I hope they continue to develop this app, for example it needs Audiobus support ### 1/5 — No restore purchases *2014-10-25, version 1.32* Sounds great and all, but I really hate that there's no "restore purchases" function. I've already bought too many of the .99 kits, but every time I redownload the app I have to guess which ones. And I don't need more kits yet I inevitably guess wrong and end up purchasing more. Worse, I guess I just bought "Drive Drums 1" cause I guessed wrong, and the kit is broken - the bass drum and hi hat make no sound. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect... *2013-09-03, version 1.30* The drum samples/sounds are superior. What would make this the perfect app (for my personal use) would be Audiobus compatibility. ### 1/5 — Could be better..... *2012-09-09, version 1.30* Ok, first....awesome sound...it doesn't get much better than this. Now for the reason I only rated 1 star. I need more pads to do anything remotely professional with this...16 would be perfect. I also feel that without a dedicated sequencer (even something like the one in GarageBand would suffice) and audio copy/paste...it's pretty much useless....but my Steven Slate drumagog files DO sound great on it....just FIX it so I can actually USE it! ## Frequently asked questions about iGOG ### What is iGOG: Massive Drums? iGOG: Massive Drums is a multi-sampled drum machine application that utilizes advanced sampling technology to create highly realistic drum sounds.
